My 1670 High Elves, just drew 1370 Underworld, which seems a little out of whack. |
What I think is "whack" is that YOU think this is a out of "whack" match up. |
Well, on the first hand, I feel a bit sorry for Topper having to play the match.
On the other hand, it's a no win game for me. If I win it was expected because I have the better team, but if I lose I open myself up to self-ridicule (I can be quite hard on myself). So sort of a no-win situation.  |
Ah, but if you see this as a psychological challenge for yourself - a moment of personal growth and reflection, in the mode of Socrates and the value of the examined life - then it does become a win, of a sort. |

So, a pressure match then.
Would you feel any more sorry for him if you were packing 1670 CPOMBers?

I think these changes sound great Christer, thanks. I much prefer this to any rule change (but we all know that.) |

I wonder what the effect will be on the off-prime time zones. More games scheduled I hope.
As it is I wouldn't expect too much difference in the euro time zones, other than a few different matchups here and there.
In NA where you can frequently see 4-5 coaches activate but no games get scheduled... well we'll see. |

Agreed, licker - that's going to be an important testing time. USA evenings are frequently 0-6 coaches activating, so we would expect to see more of the bad matchups possible. Might be TV 2200 chaos against TV 1300 orcs. Nom Nom Nom! |

Wow, can't even read through the whole thread now, I have to play and test it!
Christer, you chose the best option to try out first.
Let's see where this will lead us to.
Thank you! |

I'm one of those west coasters in NA that usually activates against 4-5 other coaches. I'll see how it goes. |

With that much in inducements that might actually be kinda fun with the hot pot and some of the stars available. |

As someone who plays exclusively in the Box, usually in Australian afternoons and evenings, I hope this does make it easier to get a game and excited about (hopefully) seeing a bit of variety in teams and use of use of inducements.
Also, it never really bothered me, facing min/max'd teams. I just sucked it up and played on; part of the silent majority, I guess.
Christer, thanks for the changes and the hard work. Time to get off my lazy ass and donate, methinks. |

You play the slime barons and you're worried about opening yourself up to ridicule? I thought that building clawpomber teams was the end of worrying what others might think of you... |

I think you misunderstand the phrase 'self-ridicule', as I don't think it relates to other people |

Found 4 coaches.
- Topper vs DukeTyrion (Underworld 1370 vs 1670 High Elf) @649
- Rulah87 vs Sotomonte (Chaos Pact 1010 vs 1050 Chaos) @965
Scheduled 2 matches
What would you have done differently? |
Well I was at the receiving end of the expected spanking - and I admit it wasn´t as bad as it seems. But Id say it was like a 4/5 times Duke would win this - and 1/5 it´d be a draw.. I just needed to make one mistake/roll some semi bad dice and the game was over. As such I don´t think its that bad - but I got to admit that I looked twice when I got that draw..
Im not so sure if this fixes anything though. What happens when its the high TW clawpombers who draw the opponents? They get a bloodfeast I fear.
Therefor I fear the total removal of the TV cap. But lets see.. |
